While i dont like these terms as much as the next person.

Hardcore, They by systems for the companies reputation, games, and fun, not buy it because its the "In thing" to do.

HAHA I love that Hardcore picture, prue gold. But I would have to say Hardcore only because I hate casual games like the Petz and endless shovelware games like Game Party, Plus I love my N64 just like that guy so yeah.

I think the picture choices are ironic... considering how the PS3 is being considered casual, and a Nintendo console is being considered hardcore, though of course, the N64 was BEFORE the days Nintendo didn't care about hardcore good games. I'm the latter. Hardcore yo.

Casual for me. I enjoy games for what they are and don't whine like a school girl when gaming companies don't tailor my interests. I wouldn't even associate myself with most "hardcore" gamers.

I enjoy games like Peggle and The Sims as well as The Witcher and Crysis. I don't get why everybody on this forum goes out of their way to demonize "casual gamers" as some sort of plague on the universe.

I feel that if you have hunted down and signed up to a gaming forum, to discuss games you automatically become hardcore.

Both have their good and bad games, and honestly casual games can be just as good as hardcore games if done right.If I had to choose, I'd say hardcore, but honestly, I'd rather have more of a variety by mixing them together.

Maybe 5% of the people on here are actual "hardcore" gamers. The rest of us juts play casually.

I am so sick and tired of this hardcore vs. casual bull**** it is really annoying.

I'm more on the hardcore side, but I like to take breaks from the "0MG 1337 BL3WD" and delve into something more casual.

Casual, as I don't blindly follow reviews, and just buy whatever interests me. May it have 4.5 on Gamespot or a 9.

It's not about what games you play, it's how you play them. You can be hardcore if you play Mario. Just drink a case of red bull, eat 17 pop tarts and throw the controller at the TV everytime you die.

Some people just don't understand jokes on the internet anymore. Everythings so literal. I mean, how dumb do you have to be to think that I'd drink a case of Redbull and survive?

What if you're not like everyone else on the gaming forum? Some people just like talking about games they play and others make threads about which has better graphics, which company is failing, etc. I come here to see other people's opinions on games, not because I'm "hardcore".

Anyone who posts on this board, has more than one platform and more than a handful of games generally falls into the "core" type of gamer. No casual would even know of this websites existence let alone be posting on this board.

I'm a gamer -- As in I play games -- I don't like to classify myself or anyone else as a "casual" or "hardcore" gamer because those terms do not exist.

I used to be a hardcore gamer, but I started practicing tuba a lot more my senior year of highschool and now that I'm majoring in it in college.

I have no time for games really.

I still get in a game of halo, or COD ever once in a while with a friend though.

Casual. I would call myself hardcore for the amount of time I spend gaming, but I want no part of the "I'm a real gamer and you're not contest", nor do I have the ultracompetitive "I must pwn the entire server every time I play" streak that seems to go hand-in-hand with hardcore gaming around here.

Hardcore, by my definition. What I mean by that is I just take gaming as a serious hobby. I don't invest unreasonable amounts of time into it, but its my main hobby and I do put a lot of money into it. But as far as why I play games... its all just for fun. Why else would I play games?

I'm boycotting this poll for the simple reason that if you've read any of Malstrom's articles, you'd know that these definitions are going to seriously changing soon, and the fact that I play every game I like, from Halo, Metroid, and Command & Conquer, to Peggle, Endless Ocean, and Bejeweled. Please, try to define that.

Hardcore. Imo, what games you play has zero to do with being hardcore or casual. I honestly don't see a difference between someone who plays Cooking Mama for 10 hours a week and someone who play CoD for 10 hours a week, outside of one person preferring Cooking Sims over FPS and vice-versa. Both of them are actively addicted to games.
